Virtual Threads (Project Loom)
Discover how Project Loom's virtual threads significantly enhance Java concurrency by enabling lightweight, scalable thread management. Learn to create and manage virtual threads using the Thread API and executor frameworks, and understand their impact on high-throughput, scalable applications. This lesson prepares you for interview questions and real-world Java concurrency challenges.
We'll cover the following...
Many Java server applications have used a thread-per-request model, assigning a platform thread to each active request. Large numbers of platform threads add memory and scheduling overhead. Project Loom introduced virtual threads to reduce this scalability constraint.
